When my son and his cousins all arrive at my parents’ house, I have to remind them “no points for hitting the rim. Nor the floor.” One of them’s painting like Jackson Pollock on the floor in there.

speaking as someone who spent 18 months being mostly responsible for cleaning the urinals in the public area restrooms in an expensive ranch/resort–a total of 7 urinals between the lobby and the restaurant–it really isn’t that strenuous to make sure the urinal and the area around it are clean, very clean.
that said, i can’t imagine needing one in my home since, as others have noted, raising the seat and using reasonable care has never impinged on my life.

Add me to the list of people with experience of the ‘waterless’ urinals. All the bad points previously mentioned, including the barrier liquid you fill the p-trap with is outrageously expensive (a quart costs about $27 here, and will last less than a week in a public setting), and I doubt it’s environmentally neutral. Every public place around here that has installed one has pulled it out within a few years, many sooner, unless reinstalling the old water flush urinals means gutting the plumbing.

If Japanese toilets count as “bidets”, then I say amen.
I couldn’t possibly recommend the Toto E200 any higher. Your pompis will be eternally grateful.

I appreciate all the good feedback; I may get the chance to overhaul my basement in the next few years and a bathroom/urinal is a possibility for that space. On paper, water-free urinals sound ideal, but I’m glad to hear some real-world use cases.

Okay what the hell is that? It’s like a combination of a sink toilet and urinal all in one.
It looks like you can wash your hands and do other things and it all goes down the drain.
Does it do what I think it does? Hmm…
Furthermore- women complaining people don’t need a male only device…ummm, biased? When you are half asleep not having to hit a bowl that you have to lift up first in the dark is a pretty big advantage.
Personally my Holy Grail is a Toto washlet fully specced out with bidet and bubble blower and heated seat and air-blast dry. God I miss Japanese toilets

We had these where I worked. They stank to high heavens. I wouldn’t put one anywhere near my home.
I retired before they put in the waterless toilets.

May I suggest a catheter?

Those were fantastic. I was so impressed. I felt proud using them. And all the woodwork throughout that brewery. Truly awed.

I do wonder, on a Venn-diagram plotting “guys who want a home urinal” and “guys who don’t wipe their asses”, just how large is the intersection?

I do not understand this kind of behavior. I do not understand it so hard, that I am growing to suspect that there is a behavior-determining allele that compels some males of the species to want to spray out their territory like a fucking poorly leash-trained retriever—oh hey, this room doesn’t smell enough like my piss yet. . . I know what will fix that!
Off to go smell the evening news now!

If I had room for one more fixture in a bathroom, I think I’d go with a bidet before a urinal.
No, no, no - touching your bum will make you gay. And bidet is French, so using one will make you, like, double-gay!

Seriously, though? I am right with you on the improper ass hygiene × prefers the floor to the urinal conjecture.

An Expektorierbecken or Speibecken (also called Luther or Pabst/Papst in Studentenverbindungen). It’s for vomiting. Usually with a large diameter drain and strong flush system. Not very common, mostly found in Austria, Switzerland, Southern parts of Germany.

This. I don´t need an urinal, I use the sink when I feel like pissing standing up (usually when I´m a little drunk). I call shennanigans on this “movement”, it seems to be another of thoose ploys by the urinal industry.
